I have a 1980 XS1100SG. The bike runs great. I can let out the clutch and take off easy or I can give her a little more gas and let the clutch out a little quicker and move off with no problem. It runs right up to 8000 rpm with no trouble in all gears. It's real reliable and feels quick. The question is why am I having difficulty getting the rear wheel to spin from a dead stop? If I dump the clutch at 2 to 3 thousand rpm, it kind of bogs down and the tire won't break loose. Even at 4000 rpm, pretty much the same situation. The rear tire is the stock size (Dunlop D404). Anybody have any suggestions, ideas? Thanks
PS Air pressure is 26 psi and tire has 1000 miles on it.
